ENGINE DETAIL
The New Holland TG230 is powered by a robust 8.3L CDC turbocharged diesel engine, delivering 230hp at 2200 RPM, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. Its 6-cylinder configuration offers an efficient firing order (1-5-3-6-2-4) for improved balance and power delivery, but maintenance of valve clearances (0.010 inches intake, 0.020 inches exhaust) is critical to ensure optimal performance. This tractor's considerable displacement and liquid cooling system provide advantages in durability and prolonged operation under load, though operators must be mindful of idle RPM variability (850-2485) to avoid engine stress.
